It simply means they are both men who love their country. In Trump’s case he want’s what is best for the American citizens.....in Putin’s case not so sure
I think they are both very clear-sighted and focused on what they want, and know how to pragmatically close a deal to get it.
Putin, in his way, is a business guy, like Trump. They have an understanding of where each other is coming from. My guess is that neither would make a deal that’s bad for their country, and they both know it. Sometimes those deals are the ones that work out quickly.
